Vicious drug gang jailed for 27 years

- BY ADAM BENNETT

A DRUG lord used his father-in-law to deliver cannabis, MDMA and cocaine — thinking no one would suspect a pensioner.

Scott Linegar, 39, ran a drug ring in Surrey and the South East for two years, using stun guns to intimidate anyone who crossed him.

Alan Oldfield, his wife’s dad, stored and distribute­d the drugs while Linegar lavished £68,000 on holidays.

At Kingston crown court, Linegar, Oldfield and three gang members received jail sentences totalling 27½ years.

Det Insp Gareth Hicks said: “Dismantlin­g this group is a huge result.” He added that police would pursue Linegar through the Proceeds of Crime Act.
